Giraffes? Giraffes! with Cards (How Books: Haggis-On-Whey World of Unbelievable Brillance #01) by Dr. Doris Haggis-On-Whey
barkleydale, April 24, 2007
This book was truly life-changing for me, as was another in the same series (Your Disgusting Head). The depth of knowledge, the illustrations, the careful thought and research that went into this scholarly book all meld together like the kind of bread sandwiches that giraffes are so fond of. I found myself not only soaking up the normal pages of the book, but discovered some of the best gems hidden away on the title page and Afterword (the end of the book). For example, Dr. Doris and her helpmate Benny list other books they would like to include in the "How" series, but you have to read the tiny, tiny print at the end of the Afterword to find the list. Books such as "Where Pets Go To Cry" and "Books: Should We Read Them or Use Them to Make Shoes?" and "Plaid vs. Corduroy: When Will the Fighting End?" As for the 2nd one of those titles, I already know the answer (I think this is right, but maybe not in the Haggis-On-Whey way...) Books such as "Giraffes? Giraffes!" should definitely be read, read, re-read, spilled on, and spilled on some more until the book gets all soggy and droopy, and then you can turn them into some fine shoes.(14 of 21 readers found this comment helpful)
